There are many possible approaches to this. Everything depends on how you divide the $14.99. Your solution can be correct in a variety of ways as a result.
We need: Split $14.99 into 14+0.99
So we have: 7(14+0.99)
The distributive property permits every thing inside the brackets to be multiplied by the 7
Then:
(7×14)+(7×0.99)
98+6.93
104.93
